Pre-restorative alignment before veneers
Short alignment to idealise the upper anterior positions before minimal-prep veneers, planned with the restorative dentist.
- Attachment
- IPR
- Planned position
Presentation
Adult patient booked for six upper veneers. Mild rotations on both lateral incisors and a slightly retruded canine that would have needed heavy preparation.
Planning approach
- Rotations and canine position corrected in 12 stages, with the final positions agreed with the restorative dentist against the wax-up.
- Upper incisor edges left slightly short of the final line so the veneers carry the length.
- Retention planned before the preparation appointment.
Setup outcome
Anterior positions matched the wax-up in the setup, reducing the planned preparation depth.
